Welcome
A little about ourselves
Welcome to R/LA 8! My name is Ms. A. Lewis. Your child will have me for their Reading/Language Arts and Reading classes. My goal is to keep both parents and students informed about classroom procedures and student progress. Through the district’s parent portal, you have access to grades and assignments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Official progress reports will be sent home after the third week of each six week grading period. Please check your child’s grades often and encourage them to be responsible for their learning.
I am looking forward to a productive and successful partnership with you and your child during the 2016-2017 school year
In Reading/Language Arts we will:
· Read widely in a variety of genres
· Think and problem solve before, during and after reading
· Learn and connect through themes and genre studies
· Follow the patterned way of reading, writing and talking
· Do genre based writing about self-selected and assigned topics
· Build on the reading writing connection by studying author’s craft
· Write in many genres for variety of audience and purposes
· Use the writing process to process to produce publishable products
